Redemption Road by John Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I received a copy of Redemption Road by John Hart through NetGalley for an honest review. My thanks to NetGalley, Thomas Dunne Books, and to John Hart for the opportunity.
john Hart is one of my favourite authors because of his ability to make me care about the world of living breathing people created by him. No one is larger than life. Everyone is believable. The inner struggles, morals and conflicts of the characters and how they collide — his story unfolds irresistibly.
We meet a young boy broken by the murder of his mother and his decision to kill her murderer on the day he exits prison. We meet the man unjustly accused of killing her and we wonder how he’ll ever redeem himself. And then there’s Liz, the emotionally broken cop who claims guilt to protect Channing, a rape victim from murder charges. What runs through it all is the power of love, in all its warped and pure variations.
With mesmerizing passion and pace, the story unfolds in unexpected ways. Redemption Road is an immersive reading experience and the best kind of novel: a literary page-turner.
